Comparing across societies and disciplines
No full textMark Van Hoecke tries to answer some of the topics that are discussed by the contributors to this volume: What is meant by comparing? What are the theoretical frameworks comparative disciplines are relying on? Is there a common scientific (meta)language possible across cultures and disciplines? What about a 'tertium comparationis' to be used for comparing? What about culturalism or universalism, or quantitative or qualitative methods? He concludes that translation is at the core of any comparative (and interdisciplinary). He also concludes that the principal advantage of comparative research is that it leads, or at least could lead to a reflection on one's own conceptual framework and its underlying assumptions
Conclusion : challenges of comparison
No full textIn the final chapter Maurice Adams and Mark Van Hoecke draw some more general conclusions, especially with regard to the challenges that lie ahead, not just for comparative legal research, but for comparative disciplines as such. They identify that comparative research can be further developed when: a) it is understood as a research design rather than a research method, b) more attention is being paid to the collection of data, including awareness that this is not a neutral activity, c) there is more awareness of the challenges different possible levels of interdisciplinarity pose (including the need for more research into how to combine qualitative with quantitative analysis), d) we are more aware of the fact that all language - including the language in which comparative terms and concepts are cast - inevitably carries traces of the normative preoccupations and ideologies of those who use the language from which the terms and concepts used derive; this challenge also shows itself in the choice of tertium (tertia) comparationis, which is a perspective chosen by the researcher, and e) comparative disciplines are becoming more geared towards theory formation, i.e., generating hypotheses or confirming or infirming theories
